After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

klasnaya - Thursday, 18 September oh wow congrats!!!! Glad your baby is doing better! Mine had a bit of jaundise too but it wasnt bad. He is still such a good baby. Im very happy. My kids have adjusted to him realy well! They LOVE him! And you know i cant beleive it but i want another soon!!! You feeling any better after giving birth? I wasnt bleeding anymore but then yesterday started up again. Still a bit uncomfortable and my down there is still a bit sore. But its well worth it!
zavana - Tuesday, 9 September i certainly hope he doesnt either, but i cant really make him come can i. I dont think talking to him will make him haha Wow so that means you could be holding your baby in a weeks time...ohh so exciting!!
lm09 - Tuesday, 9 September well my blood pressure was 160 over 95 so doc sent me straight to hospital again to be monitored for 4 hours and as soon as i got to the hospital (1 minute walk from docs) my bp was 131 over 81 so i dont know. Then it stayed down for the 4 hours. He always said he would induce me at 37 or 38 weeks because of it but i dont know what he'll do now. I am taking 6 tablets a day to keep it down tho so maybe he'll still induce me
klasnaya - Tuesday, 9 September I still have sore boobs and it feels like i might have a small lump in my breast and feels like mastitis so i had hubby message it and it went away but keeps comming back as the breast fills. So i have to keep working at it. Everytime i leave the bedroom where its warm and go out to the kitchen my boobs feel like they tighten up and it hurts! mom said if i get my boobs chilled like that i can get mastitis and she was right. Last 2 times i had it, i got it when i went outside and it was cold. gotto keep them boobies warm lol...my baby is still doing wonderful! Hes such a good baby. Only cries when hes ready to eat and his cry is more like a tiny whine! Man good luck with ur induction!
klasnaya - Monday, 8 September Wow finaly! Let me know tomarow then! And hope they do it soon!
carrie in jennings - Monday, 8 September That's exciting. My water broke at 3am, and I was in labor for 18 hours.
lm09 - Monday, 8 September yeah i have an appointment in about two hours so i'll let you know. I keep leaving the house as if im not coming back for awhile because i know inducing wil happen soon. My blood pressure is usually around the 160 over 90 but on a few occasions its been 160 over 100-105 which really set them panicing. The medication hasnt really lowered it tho.They keep blood testing me for everything else so i guess i should be happy pre eclampsia or any others havent hit.... GOOD LUCK! Oh and no i havent felt my heart beat. I havent really felt any different other than friday night i had a dizy spell for a couple of seconds but i hadnt eaten since lunch so i didnt worry too much.
zavana - Monday, 8 September oh that so sucks that you are on bed rest, that must be driving you up the wall. It would with me! Im sure my partner would hate me complaining haha But however thats great news that within the week that you will be holding your bub in your arms instead of having to wait another few weeks like me! Cant wait to see pictures and read your birth story! Do you know how you got pre-eclampsia? Funny enough i was just explaining about what it is to my partner lastnight and he was quite shocked to find out how severe it can get for mother and child.. As for me, im good, just waiting for when he decides he wants to arrive. Since i am having a home birth i dont get induced at all unless i go over 42 weeks, sucks i know as thats another 4 weeks away, but im sure the wait will be worth it. Even if he is over 9lb by then since he will be cooking in my oven for 2 weeks longer then normal haha
carrie in jennings - Sunday, 7 September Well, down here in Louisiana it was like we had a baby boom. It may have been because last weekend was a full moon, and then we had the hurricane, so a lot of pregnant women had gone into labor. It's so great being a mom though. I'm loving every second of it!
klasnaya - Saturday, 6 September Well everyone im home with my baby!!! My birth story is up and some pictures. Im the hapiest mom right now! Baby is doing so well! Best of wishes!!!!
zavana - Saturday, 6 September hey, thought id pop in and ask how things are going?
lm09 - Saturday, 6 September Hi there. I read your message in 37 weeks. I have high blood pressure too and they continually keep me in the hospital for hours when i go in for a check.
